Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers faces another injury headache as German forward Nicolas Kuhn becomes the latest addition to the club’s growing list of sidelined players. The 24-year-old, who has impressed since joining the Hoops, is reportedly dealing with a muscular injury that could keep him out until after the highly-anticipated clash with Rangers.
Kuhn’s absence marks the fourth major blow to Rodgers’ plans, with key players already sidelined, adding pressure to the squad during a critical phase of the season. The versatile attacker has been a valuable asset, contributing with his pace and creativity in Celtic’s attacking lineup. Losing him will be a significant setback as the team prepares for challenging fixtures, including the crucial derby against their Glasgow rivals.
The Celtic medical team is closely monitoring Kuhn’s recovery, but early reports suggest the injury may require a cautious approach to avoid long-term complications. Rodgers expressed his disappointment but remains optimistic about the squad’s ability to cope with adversity.
“We’ve been dealt another blow, but this is a chance for others to step up,” Rodgers said. “Nicolas has been fantastic, and we’ll support him through his recovery.”
With the fixture against Rangers fast approaching, Rodgers must find tactical solutions to maintain Celtic’s momentum. Fans will be hoping for positive updates on Kuhn’s fitness as the team battles to stay on top in the Scottish Premiership and beyond.
The injury crisis underscores the importance of squad depth as Celtic aim to navigate the challenges ahead while keeping their title aspirations alive.
